We have totally screwed Usmanov. All them clowns wanted Kronke for some daft reason with his proven record of.messing up sports teams.

From the outside, it appears Kronke want to make profit and doesn't care as much about silverware. It appears usmanov want to make profit from Arsenal being more successful. Just the way I interpret it.

Meh....why would Lady Bracewell share her shares to The American if Usmanov is the right person?

I'm sure she said she regrets it now.

Where? She might be regretting for selling at knockdown price.

Yeah, that makes sense as I have the authority to sell West Ham.

No the way he's treating the club,she said she wasn't expecting him to do what he's doing.

The club got into bed with Stan for the same reason we never bought expensive players for years. Because at the time being profitable was more important than silverware.

The club HAD to be as low-risk as possible for as long as possible money/debt-wise. At the time, Stan represented an almost guaranteed, strong-powerhouse (financially) 25 years into the future. Usmanov would have been more of a risk in those terms.

His trophy priority and Roman rivalry would no doubt have seen him personally underwrite the club right up until the day FFP kicked in. Which could potentially cause problems that would not be encountered under Stan.

We may well be paying a price for that now but it was the most sensible and IMO correct choice, at the time. I mean lets be honest, at least the last five years, Stan hasn't exactly sat on his wallet. We all know we can effectively afford any player we want to go pay for. And looking at the squad we have and chances this season. We've really not paid too much of a price at all for Stan being the man. HE is probably the last person to blame for no league title. Because the blame on that is squarely at the feet of the players and manager. They could have done it by now if not for some truly spine/desire-less performances.

She made that comment after handing over the keys to the American? That shows her naivety if it's true.
